Surfacing sensitive data from open and closed sources to create actionable intelligence
Justice and Security agencies across government face multiple information management challenges including;
- Significant growth in both volume and threat profiles
- Sifting large volumes of information
- An ever decreasing window to exploit intelligence
- Budgetary challenges
Therefore finding effective ways to surface sensitive data from open and closed sources to create actionable intelligence is a key objective.
WTG has been building critical national intelligence applications for customers for over five years and we continue to adopt new technologies that will enable next generation requirements around real-time data fusing and proactive notification of relationships and patterns of activity. For example:
- A national level solution providing instant access to criminal records and activities required by front-line police officers, investigative teams and the intelligence services.
- A solution for one of the largest police forces in the UK that provides nominal intelligence from multiple sources including golden records. The business case required significant man hour savings over the previous largely manual process. Prior to solution design, WTG undertook extensive analysis and business requirements workshops that contributed to the selection of advanced technologies in the areas of automation, reconciliation and matching.
Our capabilities in this area include:
- Unified access to multiple real-time information types
- Intelligent fusing of data for purposes of reconciliation and matching
- Intelligent search capabilities and high quality user experience
- Secure access for both data input and search through networks of differing classifications that allow all of the UK’s intelligence contributing agencies to connect
This capability takes our expertise building complex web based data fusion solutions, adds open source intelligence to our long list of closed source/structured data project wins, and combines it into a framework based on new data management and access management technologies. This allows for proactive surfacing of intelligence from dynamic data sources, and the ability to push it to the right consumers wherever they may be, and onto whatever device they may have at their disposal.
These data sources include not just nominal data (about people) but also video, sensor, event and intercept based data that allows a more holistic picture about likely future events and behaviours to be incorporated into decision making.
We are skilled at developing secure, feature-rich and cost-effective intelligence solutions that solve a range of complex business challenges and drive a range of key benefits including:
- Effective management of a wide range of information sources to deliver actionable intelligence
- Improved understanding and decision making to help improve citizen safety and security
- Improved collaboration with a variety of agencies, allies, partners, and authorities to enhance decision making and control at all levels
- Access to real-time information to enable appropriate and timely responses to new information streams or sources
- Provision of a complete picture to enhance awareness, planning, prevention, and response
